Title: Teleporter causes error on all-lava map
Post by: Fusilliban on June 20, 2014, 18:25

Today I encountered my first lava-spreads-super-fast map.  I had cerberus boots and so didn't have to cry about losing a good run.

The map had a teleporter, which wasn't eaten by lava.  Stepping in it made this happen:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Error level : ERROR

Call path     : items[teleport].OnEnter

Error message : Lua error : lua\\main.lua:601: Unknown property "target" requested on object of type TItem!

But the game didn't crash, so that's good.

The possible explanation is that teleporter's target is fixed, but any teleport (including those from phase devices) will never port you into a liquid. Since the target space was covered in lava, the teleporter had no valid target, causing a bug.

By the way, I think that a teleportar can port monsters into your space (or you into monster's!) for a telefrag - if you see where a teleported monster landed, never step on that space again.
